35% front doors , 20% elsewhere none on windshield.
Tint % with pics?
I'm about to be getting my car windows tinted, but having some trouble figuring out what I want. The legal limit in SC is must allow more than 27% - I'm thinking I'll do 30%, but where I'm at they don't seem to care too much about tint and I may drop to 20%. Thoughts/advise?
Also, it's illegal to have tint on the windshield here - Is it common to not tint the windshield or do we all just say F it?
Post some pics of your tint!! Thanks guys!

I have state legal limit on the front side windows in MO which is 35% and I have 25% elsewhere for a decent looking match (technically, the way the law is written here, you can paint the back windows black and there is no specific law saying you cant, but you will attract attention). You can tint the windshield if you have a prescription and a waiver from the DMV but it’s really not worth it. Cops will still pull you over for the tint and check to see if you have all the paperwork while looking for more reasons to pry into your buisness. As former LE myself, it’s just better to not give them a reason to contact you, even if you are 100% legit, it’s just a waste of everyone’s time. Although it seems around me only State Troopers really give a damn about tint, counties and cities will rarely cite you for it unless you are being a d**k and they want to add stuff to your ticket list because you’re giving them a hard time.
Here in Florida (and a lot of other states) there is a medical exemption that allows tint darker than what is usually legal. Here's my Wife's 19 with my Daughter's 21 RT's. My Wife's is 5% sides, rear, and windshield top strip, all legal with the exemption. I have been doing all my vehicles this way (legally) since 1980!

My Daughter's tint (5%) was done the next week. IF you are wanting or needing darker than legal you might want to see if your state has an exemption and if you qualify.
Makes sense! I really don't want to attract more than necessary attention to myself. I think I'm worried 35% is too light but all the pics I've seen and yours, it proves me wrong every time
I appreciate the info!!
Will do!!![]()
Post pics when you get it done!
Thanks for this post. I've been thinking about getting my windows tinted too. I believe there is a bit of tint in the windows already from the factory. I'm wondering how much darker this will make the LEGAL tint look. I don't need the cops pulling me over for that because then for sure they will get me for no front license plate!!
Does anyone have pictures of factory tinted windows with applied tint?
